Duvall to Lead AZ in Race to the Top Grants

Governor Brewer named former Mesa Superintendent Dr. Debra Duvall as a "special advisor" to oversee the state's participation in President Obama's new Race to the Top grants for charter schools.

Arizona received $54 million in initial grants from the $4.35 billion dollar program.

The governor's newly formed P-20 Coordnating Council (P-20 means preschool through a 4-year degree) will also assist with participation in the grant. Oddly enough, not a single public school employee sits on the P-20 Council.

Kudos to Duvall (in the Cat in the Hat suit, right) for her new position.
